Unsurprisingly, the conventional watch has managed to rise from a seemingly endless crevasse to reclaim its glory and place in immortality. There just seems to be things about the watch we cannot get over. The feel of that piece gracing your wrist is always something to long for, but how has the watch avoided obsolescence?
